if your friend asks you to threaten anyone that misgenders them with a shotgun, do it
i don't have a shotgun, will pepper spray suffice or do i need to go out and buy one?

For the price of a welder, pipes and nails you can have as many shotguns as you want
I don't have a shotgun but you can borrow my snotgun

no I don't really know why I'm making this joke either, thanks
ok thank u for offering, but im immunocompromised so i will have to decline
Agreed, but I wish we didn’t have to worry about being out.
Not gonna lie, with my wife, I just craft all of my sentences to completely avoid the use of names and pronouns around her family. It just feels so wrong and makes me want to vomit when I have to deadname and misgender her.
I can't imagine being around people like that. Some people need to be cut out
Gods, you don't even know the half of it. This past Christmas was the first one I was fully out at with her family (simply because I'm unapologetically me and I can't hide my breasts anymore). We spent 3.5 hours there. Not a single time was I spoken to in any way, referred to in any way, or even looked at in any appreciable manner. They treated me like I didn't even fucking exist. Neither myself nor my wife were expecting that outcome at all. She postulated that they weren't expecting someone who looked and sounded like me (I pass 99% of the time). I postulated that, well, I always suspected they hated me. Now they have "reason" to do so and just acted out their fantasy of ensuring I'm not part of the family. I don't know. Regardless of the reasoning, I think I would've rather been spoken to, misgendered, and deadnamed instead of completely and utterly erased. Fuck these people. They will never see me again.
Yeah fuck those people I wouldn't give them the time of day. I'm sure this is challenging for your partner, otherwise she probably would have written them off as well already.
Sorry her family is terrible.
